  Are you flat out lying when you say "most"?

    Let's consider the incident in Seattle a few years back wherein a "sex trafficking" ring run by tech people was busted by the cops. Except there were no actual sex trafficking charges brought against anyone and the whole sting operation seems to have been funded from out of state. https://www.thestranger.com/news/2018/03/24/25953235/king-county-took-money-from-an-anti-prostitution-organization-then-unprecedented-felony-prosecutions-of-sex-buyers-began https://www.thestranger.com/news/2018/03/24/25953235/king-co... Backpage was pretty sleazy. I don't think anyone's going to miss them, but are you not at all alarmed that there's a sudden onslaught of legislation that is claimed to target "sex trafficking", but which also apparently requires the deletion of the personals section from Craigslist, censoring of pornographic Google drive content, and even dirty words from Word documents? https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/28/microsoft_services_agreement_bars_offensive_language/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/28/microsoft_services_... Where is this heading? And do you trust the motives of the people behind it?

  It's not that most anti-prostitution crusaders are lying, it's that those that aren't lying are relying on information from those who are.
